"I'm sorry, but [BOOK TITLE] does not sound like a fit for me at this time, and so I will have to pass. I want to be especially sure that I offer representation not only to books I fall in love with, but also to books I think I can represent and shepherd well, and I'm just not confident enough to take on this project at this time. Thank you for considering me and I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your querying journey."

Dear ____

I'm sorry, but [TITLE] does not sound like a fit for me at this time, and so I will have to pass. I want to be especially sure that I offer representation not only to books I fall in love with, but also to books I think I can represent and shepherd well, and I'm just not confident enough to take on this project at this time. Thank you for considering me and I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your querying journey.

Sincerely,
Claire Elliot
